order to stifle any flames;
• Microwave heating of beverages can result in delayed eruptive boiling, therefore care
must be taken when handling the container; To prevent this situation ALWAYS allow a
standing time of at least 20 seconds after the oven has been switched off so that the
temperature can equalize
Stir during heating, if necessary, and ALWAYS stir after heating
In the event of scalding, follow these FIRST AID instructions:
* Immerse the scalded area in cold water for at least 10 minutes
* Cover with a clean, dry dressing
* Do not apply any creams, oils or lotions
